ArchaeOrnithomimus
may be the oldest known member of the ornithomimid family of
dinosaurs. Like its relative, Gallimimus, it was a very fast
meat-eater with a small head that probably ate lizards,
small mammals, and large insects.

Somewhat smaller than later ornithomimids, ArchaeOrnithomimus
was also more lightly built. Some scientists believe that the
fossil material is not complete enough to accurately assign this
creature to any genus or family and that more material needs to
be found for a definite assignment.
